Great to hear that everything is ok with the september bumps that needed early scans!! We should all be having our routine scans in the next few weeks .. I'm really looking forward to seeing how flump has grown since last time and being able to tell everyone the news.

Its a nightmare trying to keep it a secret, I have to go to a birthday party tonight... I have nothing decent to wear that still fits me... have to try and cover my bump (which seems way to big for 11+1) and have to hide that I'm not drinking hhhmmmmmm lol

Just wondering are you ladies planning to find out if bump is boy or girl at your 20wk scan?

Bye for now

Hello everyone, and congratulations!! I'm new to Emma's Diary. :-) I am due Sept 6th (thirteen weeks and four days!). We had our first scan on Tuesday which was lovely. My little one was very stationary, which was a bit of a surprise, but I've since discovered that that is quite normal!

I don't suppose there are any 'mummies-to-be' that are due around the same time as me (give or take a couple of months), that would like to perhaps meet up? I live in Harrogate in north Yorkshire, but am originally from London, and don't know THAT many people, particularly none who want to discuss sore boobs, sickness and food cravings!

Stay well everybody, love Laura. xxx

I am due on 29th September, I am extremely tired, have frequent trips to the ladies! and have experienced a sudden change in appetite, I have a funny taste in my mouth which makes some food taste strange!, I am loving it though, just cannot wait for the 12 week scan and midwife appointment.. Again, congratulations to all of you, lovely to see so many September babies! Christmas was a good one this year! ha ha.. :)[/quote]

Hi All,
Had my first day back at work yesterday - after 3 weeks off due to sickness. It was really good being back at work, as was going slightly mad in the house. Quite a few people guessed that I was pregnant, as though I have lost weight - I have a definite bump. Am now 12+1 and have my first scan on the 11th - which I am looking forward to - because it really makes it real.

Have told family about the bump, and a few people at work know - as I have had to change my work a little, due to the tiredness and sickness - but fingers crossed that should be getting better - it's supposed to miraculously disappear at 12 weeks!!

Am also looking forward to telling my wee boy (6), we are going to wait until we have had the scan and can show him a picture. Think it will be a bit of a surprise for him - but I'm sure he will love being a big brother!

Hope everyone else is beginning to feel better!

Lou

Hello everyone!
I'm new to the site.

I'm due the 27th September with my first baby.

I had my scan at the beginning of the week and all was well. Baby was kicking it's little legs around all over the place. I can't believe how much I love him/her already!

Hey Ladies,
Monday again! Is it me or is the time flying by?? Have been very tearful this weekend. And I'm still feeling a little low this morning. My Mum reckons its my Beanie taking all my goodness out of me to help with its growing! Which is a lovely thought but I need a little back now!! I am absolutely huge and my bump seems to have changed shape already! Hmmmm could be an alien baby. Bless it. I'm due for my scan next Friday and CAN'T WAIT!! I've known now for 7 weeks and its such a long wait til things get moving! Ihave my blood tests the same day too. My next Midwifes appointment after that is on 16th April so my little boy will be on Easter holidays so I've told him he can come with me and then we're off to Bluewater where he's gonna pick Beanie's outfit for its first journey home. Thought it would be a nice way for him to be included but don't want to overwhelm him too much! Is anyone else having this trouble??

I am going to find out the sex of beanie at my 2nd trimester scan due to the fact I think it will be alot cheaper in the long run and as mentioned before can help us plan somewhere to live being council tenants. They have rules and regulations about other children being in the same room at certain ages.

Anyway hope you are all well and glad to know you are all feeling better and hopefully over the morning sickness more or less now!

Hi im 11+2 weeks today and i still havent had a midwife appointment or scan! i chased the hopsital 2 weeks ago & they said the pack has been sent to me and to ring back on friday if i still hadnt received anything!! i explained that I had not heard anything from the midwife and everyone i know has had their midwife appointment at 8-10 weeks and scan at 12 weeks!! they finally said they would resend my pack out but i would have my scan before my booking in appointment(because that makes sense)!!!

I finally got the pack through on sat for my midwife appointment on 29/03 when i will be 14 weeks and i had to fill out my own scan form and send this back!! im getting soo stressed as i mite miss the scan that shows if i am high risk for downsyndrome!!

suppose thats Surrey for you!! feels like already no one else cares & OH is not being great!1 just says dont get stressed!!urghhh..
has anyone else had problems with midwifes/scans??

Hospital Appointment confusion!

Hi all, I've just been for my 12 week scan last friday (i was only 11+2 at the time) and have just received an appointment through for 27th August as my next scan. Had to phone the hospital to ask what the hec was going on, now she tells me I'll have one at 17 weeks. Sort of worried cos is it not normally around 20-22 weeks is the "big" scan?? or will there be as many as the doctors like!?? First pregnancy (you'd never have guessed!) so I don;t know whats right/wrong, normal/not normal! Anyone else as confused?

I've been soooo emotional the past 2 weeks, one minute im crying the next laughing! cannot control myself right now. is there anything we can do to stop these hormones taking over our lives!!?

First scan

[color=blue][/color]Hi Everyone!!!

Congratulations to ayou all, this is my first time on here, I'm 31 and pregnant with my 3rd (!) my other two are 12 and 8 so quite a big gap! I had my first scan on Friday 5th March and was given the disturbing news that the nuchal fluid was measuring at 3.6mm and that I should prepare my self for the possibility of having downs baby, the sonographer was not the most sensitive...... dropped the bombshell and told us to come back on Tuesday 11th and the consultant would repeat the scan then sadi I was free to leave no info no reassurrance , nothing! :cry: Needless to say we had a horrific weekend of worry, spent loads of time reading up on the subject on internet etc and generally tortured ourselves on how we would cope. ON TUesday we had the scan and the consultant was sooooo nice, after having a good look she told us that the sonographer had made a mistake and taken the wrong measurement!!!!!!! That the fluid only measure 2.4mm at most and that we were at no higher risk than anyone else. RELIEF!!!! :D Also the baby was awake for the second scan and dancing around it was so cute.
So anyway I no we all have these first scans round about now and decided to share my experience with you guys just incase you get the same news as me, I thought it might give someone that wee bit hope.

I hope everyone is well, I can't wait until 17th September to meet my baby can't come quick enough!

Hey Girls,

Hope you are all feeling well??

I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster at the minute my moods are all over the place... though this week the majority of the time i seem to be tearful and down i was a bit poorly at the start of the week so that might be to blame along with these raging hormones!!!

I can't remember if the mood swings stopped at 12week stage with my son or if they are something we have to look forward to for the rest of the pregnancy...???

Glad to hear things turned out ok xfionabx

I have my scan on Monday really looking forward to seeing bumpy , I feel so much more worried about everything in this pregnancy then I did with my son (maybe I have turned into my mum in the last 8yrs!!) so hopefully the scan will bring some peace of mind!!

Think I have decided on a boys name to (early I know prob change my mind) ... just need a girls now!!

Take care everyone

hey everyone!!

Thanks lillou12!!!!!! I totally know what you mean about worrying more, I don't know why i am worrying more this time round I would have thought baby no 3 would have been a breeze!! Maybe this 8 year gap is makin me feel like a first timer again!!

I have been lookin in the mirror constantly (!) willing a proper bump I just look like i've been over indulging at the moment (boo!).

Going to portugal for a week in mid april and I don't have a clue what to buyfor wearing, normal clothes gon to be too smal I wud think but how can u tell how big i'll be in 4 weeks time??? I so want to go shopping!!!!! Can't wait til May 4th for my 20 week scan, seems like i'm wishing all my time away. But like the reassurance of being able to see the baby I guess!

Good luck for Monday lillou12!!!!!!!

Luv to everyone

Hi Everyone - how are you all?

I had my scan yesterday and everything was great!! Little Bubba was dancing around everywhere and just wouldnt keep still! The sonographer had a real job trying to get a decent photo for us - i'm a bit disappointed as its not that clear really, hopefully the next one will be better.
They have moved my date from 19th september to 24th september so i am officially 12 weeks today!!!
I am with you all on the emotions - i have been crying tonight, didnt feel too good and i have had a tough day with my 3yr old. My hubby wanted to know why i was crying and all i could say was i don't know!!!
Has anyone else been put on iron tablets? I had a phone call from my GP to say my iron levels were low and i had to collect a prescription from my local chemist. I am having to take 3 a day!! I have been anaemic with both of my other pregnancies - just wondering if anyone else was having problems?

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Hello Ladies, HAPPY MUMMIES DAY TO YOU ALL!

Stella31 you are due the same day as me! I have my 12 week scan on Friday. I CANT WAIT!!! I found out pretty much at 4 weeks too so I know how you feel with the time dragging etc!!

My moods have been a little better this week but not great still. Cant remember what it feels like to be "normal"!!
Felt a little lonely this week. My OH hasn't come near me intmately in a month! I've asked him over 4 times why etc but he says its where I'm tired all the time! Not the fact that he stays up til the early hours playing the xbox!! I feel totally fat and ugly! How can I explain that?? I know he loves me etc but WHY won't he come near me? We've had the talk about it not hurting the baby. I've made him read websites too xx
